When Craig Groeschel founded LifeChurch.tv, located in Edmond, Oklahoma, the congregation met in a borrowed two-car garage, with ratty furnishings and faulty audiovisual equipment. But people were drawn there, sensing a powerful, life-changing force Groeschel calls "It."
Craig Groeschel has witnessed a powerful presence from God that he calls "It" at work in many churches. What is this transformational force? How can you and your ministry get-and keep-It?
As one of today's most innovative church leaders, Groeschel provides within his new book, It: How Churches and Leaders Can Get It and Keep It, several profile interviews with notable Christian leaders Mark Driscoll, Perry Noble, Tim Stevens, Jud Wilhite, and Dino Rizzo.
Combined with an in-your-face honesty with off-the-wall humor, this lively book tells how any believer can obtain It.
Published by Zondervan Books, this new exciting book addresses such important church leadership questions like:
What are we (as a church) doing that we should stop doing?
What is God trying to show you through your greatest limitation?
What has God called you to do that you're afraid to try?
Here are a just a few endorsments It: How Churches and Leaders Can Get It and Keep it has received:
